Summary: Raising two magical children who are battling it out for attention is not easy on Piper... Humor

Chapter One

After taking a deep breath, Piper Halliwell clutched onto the silver doorknob of the Halliwell Manor. She twisted the knob and walked in, holding a blue baby carrier in her left hand and balancing an overnight bag in the other.

As soon as she stepped inside, she frowned. She looked over the hallway, which was covered in mud from her oldest son's, Wyatt, plastic pushbike. Sighing she thought to herself, Home sweet Home. Of course, she didn't expect to come home to a nice clean house; after all her younger sisters, Phoebe and Paige had been the housekeeper's for the past week and let's just say; neither of them were clean people.

She slowly made her way through the hall and towards the stairs, trying to make as little noise as possible, as her newest arrival, one-week-old Christopher Perry Halliwell slept peacefully in the baby carrier. As soon as her foot touched the first step she heard the voices of her sisters from upstairs.

"Hurry Up Paige" Phoebe's voice sounded through the floorboards. From what Piper could tell, they were in her room.

"I'm going as fast as I can! It would be easier if I had some help" Paige's voice replied in a tone of annoyance. Typical Phoebe, Piper thought as she continued to listen, always giving orders but not helping.

"Alright look," Paige's voice sounded from upstairs after a few moments of silence, by the time she had spoke, Piper had almost finished the climb up the stairs. "Let's just use the spell, it would be faster" A slight thump sound indicated that whatever Paige was holding was just thrown onto the ground.

"Told ya we should have just bought a new one" Phoebe said, proud that she was right.

"We should have used the instructions, but no you had to be the smart one, didn't you?" Piper had reached the hallway that lead to her bedroom and the new nursery for baby Chris, with every step she took, the voices got louder and louder.

"Quick Paige, orb to a shop," Phoebe's voice sounded rushed. "And get a new one, an already assembled one" She completely ignored Paige's previous comment. "Piper will be here-"

Phoebe was cut short by Piper, who had finally reached the bedroom. Piper looked around the room; her jaw dropped at what she saw. Paige and Phoebe were crouched over the separate pieces of a wooden cot; the plastic packaging had been thrown around the room.

Phoebe and Paige looked at Piper guilty. "You didn't finish the nursery? Paige I asked you ages ago. You HAD A WEEK!" Piper had dropped the overnight bag on the ground, and was only hanging onto Chris's carrier with a loose grip.

Fearing that she would drop the carrier, Phoebe ran towards her, plucking it out of her hand. "We are really sorry, but we have been busy, with taking care of Wyatt and all"

After making sure that Chris was okay, Piper walked towards the nursery, dodging wooden planks and plastic. If possible, her mouth dropped lower when she saw the nursery. The paint was peeling off the wall, and the floorboards looked as if they needed to be re-laid. Piper turned and faced Paige and Phoebe who were both tickling and cooing at Baby Chris.

"Alright," She breathed in deeply, "please tell me you at least brought some diapers." Phoebe and Paige exchanged worried glances. Seeing their expressions, Piper pressed on. "Phoebe, Paige, where are the diapers, I mean you did get diapers didn't you?"

"I knew we forgot something!" Paige exclaimed, happy that she had found out what they had forgot. Once she saw Piper's death stare, her smile disappeared. "Sorry" Both Paige and Phoebe said in unison and hung their heads low.

Piper drew a deep breath, trying to control her anger in front of Baby Chris. She dodged her way back to Phoebe and Paige. Suddenly she noticed the absence of her other son Wyatt. "Where's Wyatt?"

"He is in his room, playing...I think" Phoebe answered, handing Baby Chris and his carrier over to Piper. "I guess we are going shopping then" Piper nodded in an answer.

The three walked out of the room, Paige leading, Piper in the middle and Phoebe taking up the end. "By the way, thanks for coming to get me" Piper said as they walked.

Once again, Paige and Phoebe exchanged glances. Immediately the pair remembered their promise to pick Piper up from the hospital. Piper had been waiting for half an hour before she had decided to get a taxi, thinking that they had been late because of a demon attack. "Ahh..." they both said out of guilt.

As soon as Paige stepped into Wyatt's room the little blonde boy looked up. "Guess who's home?" She teased. Piper stepped inside of the room. The small child jumped up happily, running over as soon as he saw his mother. Piper bent down, putting Chris's carrier on the ground next to her. Wyatt ran happily into Piper's arms.

"Hey sweetheart, look who I brought home" Piper whispered in Wyatt's ear as she looked down to Chris. Wyatt followed his mother's gaze; he stared at the small 'thing' that was gurgling at him. Immediately hate for the child washed over Wyatt. So this was the creation that had taken him out of the spotlight, well he would show him.

"His name is Chris, he is your baby brother" Piper pointed out, smiling at Wyatt. Wyatt smiled back at his mother, even though he did not like the look of the intruder. "Come on sweetie," Piper stood up slowly, leaving Wyatt standing in front of her. "Auntie Paige and Auntie Phoebe are not smart enough to buy supplies for Chris, so we have to go shopping"

As soon as Wyatt had heard the word shopping, his attitude lightened. He had been shopping many times before with his Aunts and Mother, and each time he had managed to trick the women into buying him a new toy of some sort. Maybe this Chris wasn't so bad after all.

Wyatt threw up his hands, showing that he did not want to walk. Piper smiled down at her son and bent down. However, she stopped centimeters before Wyatt's small frame, she groaned a little and put her hand on her back. She stood up, still holding her back. Phoebe and Paige immediately went into supporting Sister mood, Phoebe steadied Piper and Paige stood near her, making sure she didn't fall or anything.

"Are you okay?" Paige asked with concern in her voice.

"Yeah, sure, it's side-effects of the c-section. I'm fine, really," she paused, looking down at Wyatt's innocent face. Once again, the small child put his hands up. "Sorry buddy, Phoebe is going to have to carry you" The child's smile disappeared as Phoebe bent down and picked him up.

"Paige? Can you carry Chris?" Piper asked, although it was more as a statement rather than a question. Paige nodded in response, bending down and cooing at Baby Chris, who was wide-eyed and awake now, while she picked him up.

"Alright let's go" Phoebe ordered, leading the way out of the room, with Wyatt in tow. She held Wyatt tightly, letting the small child to look behind her at Paige, Chris and Piper.

Wyatt stared at the small intruder who was gurgling and staring up at nothing. He immediately regretted thinking that the child could be an improvement to the family. As Phoebe juggled him around in her arms, he decided that it was war.

Author's Note: And Let the games begin. This was just an introduction, soon the powers will come into it. As you can see, Wyatt and Chris are like any normal children, if you scrub out the part that they are the most powerful beings, and are attention seeking.

Oh yeah, a beta would be lovely. In fact, a beta And/or a tester, so I can send them the story so they can see if it's funny or not. You'll get special mention and everything, except pay.
